title: Genetic polymorphism of cat (Felis catus) plasma orosomucoid.
abstract: Genetic polymorphism of orosomucoid (ORM) was observed in 22 breeds of cats (Felis catus) using isoelectric focusing (pH 4.0-6.5) of desialylated plasmas followed by immunoblotting with rabbit antiserum to human ORM. From a total of 943 plasma samples examined, 15 phenotypes were identified and family studies demonstrated an inheritance of five codominant alleles, ORMA, ORMB, ORMC, ORMD, and ORME, at a single locus.
